Month: September 2016

Buffalo, NY to Cambridge, MA (kay) I was awoken to the sound of 20-something chattering far too loudly in the hall outside our door. I so wanted to stick my head out and say “Really?… _REALLY?!” but I was naked. Eventually they wandered off, but soon thereafter Lita started staring at me. So, I got […]

Peru, IL to Buffalo, NY (Dachary here) I’m not generally a heavy sleeper, and with having to take penicillin every 6 hours, I have to wake up in the middle of the night to take pills… so I woke up around 3am, and found myself itching, bad. I went to the bathroom, and tried not […]

Lexington NE to Peru IL (Kay) I argued against today’s post. She was having none of that. “No!” she said, “We must blog alllllllll the days!” or…. something like that. I may be exaggerating slightly. Before we hit the road today, she took a call from a client, then wrote up a couple newsletters for […]

Rock Springs, WY to Lexington, NE (Dachary here) We drove. A lot. And had to keep stopping, because after yesterday’s unpleasant digestive issues, I was paranoid. I didn’t want a repeat of emergency pooping in a field somewhere. Also, the dogs had run out of dog food, and the only pet food store we could […]

Winnemucca NV – Rock Springs – WY (Kay) We got up early today because we knew we would be crossing a time zone and loosing an hour today. Just outside of town, we started commenting on the curious cloud that had been pushed down along the mountain range before us. Then, we found ourselves driving […]

Redding, WA to Winnemucca, NV (Dachary here) Get up, get on the road, make tracks. That’s pretty much our daily objective for the next 6 days until we get home. The Internet wanted us to route to I-80, and then take that across the country until it becomes I-90, and then take that home. While […]

Grants Pass, OR to Redding, CA (Dachary here) Redwoods! Leaving Grants Pass was uneventful. I tried stopping at one of the coffee shacks that seem to be so ubiquitous here out West (it got good reviews on Yelp, but I probably wouldn’t have picked it if I’d known it was a coffee shack) but the […]

Tumwater, WA to Grants Pass, OR (Dachary here) I slept. And slept. And slept some more. I had hardly slept at all on Friday night – woke up in the middle of the night and my mouth was in horrible pain, and I couldn’t get back to sleep. So between the lack of sleep, the […]

Seattle WA to Tumwater WA (Kay) As per usual, Lita informs us that it’s time to get up and go for a walk. While I’m taking care of that Dachary starts researching the place she has an appt. with. We booked it from the road thinking that any place that prominently advertises itself as dealing […]

Kalispell MT to Bellingham WA to Seattle WA (Kay) Day 9 was… a lot of driving. there’s no direct way across the state because of the cascade mountains. So, you end up going south around them. In the morning Dachary spent maybe an hour trying to figure out where we should stop for the night. […]
